How do you keep your pants up?

Hi all - I'm 22 weeks along and that belly is really popping out. I've found pants that fit across my belly, but they won't stay up. So, I looked at some maternity jeans, and the belly band is so loose,those pants slip down also. What works?

Thanks in advance,Rachel

I am 33 weeks pregnant with a huge belly and I still have one pair of jeans that fit. They are low rise and go under the belly. I do not like maternity pants so I wear a lot of cotton pants kinda like jogging pants that are boot cut so they go over my shoes like jeans. I guess you can call them sweat pants too. Anyways its winter now so I am not that concerned with my jeans I just want to be comfy. You can also use a hair tie, ponytail holder, rubberband (everyone has a different name for them) loop it through the hole where the button would normally go bring it back through itself so its tight and then loop it around the button. It works great just make sure you are wearing a longer shirt And no one will notice. Hope this helps.

I wore my regular jeans and used an elastic hair band to close the button. When I got closer to delivery, it actually took 2 hair bands tied together. But this worked a lot better than most of the maternity jeans I tried.

I'm due any day now and I have tried everything short of suspenders!!! Nothing worked for me. Gets worse in the last month or too I just gave up and pull up my pants/undies whenever wherever hope you find a solution!

I am not a big person so belly bands were a joke and no maternity jeans stayed up! I ended up tucking the edge of the band under my bra for a while. I loved yoga pants and maternity leggings worked very well!
